This Thursday, July 17 from 6-8 pm Greater Reston Arts Center, one of my favorite spots for dynamic contemporary visual arts, will host an opening reception for their 2014 Artist Member Exhibition. I’m pleased and excited that two of my recent collages have been selected by juror Helen Frederick for inclusion in this new exhibition. Please join me this Thursday, July 17 at Greater Reston Arts Center from 6-8 pm for the opening reception of this gorgeous exhibition. For more information about this exhibition and for a full list of featured artists you can read the press release here.

I hope to see you there! In the meantime, here’s a recent photo of summer fun with friends in my Fairfax art studio. Summer is under way, and I’m feeling blessed and lucky for all of the warmth and sunshine. I’m also feeling an abundance of gratitude for all of the art, community, family, friendship, and creativity that fill my life. Play, experimentation, collaboration, and interconnectivity are vital elements of creativity. I hope you enjoy some playful creativity today!
